Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

August 26, 1938

“Lost in an ecstasy of germinal sound

That wanders through the night’s shadowy bars...”

The deuce! what’s an ecstasy of germinal sound? And a wandering one at that?

Please sprinkle your supramental humour now and then. A too matter-of-fact dealing takes our breath away, or at least makes life damned harder, you know. Or are your humours also decided by Supramental Truth-sight?

It depends on the state of my inner humerus.

God, alas! What a queer fellow your Supramental will be!

Can’t be queerer than the mental human! But I suppose he will seem queer to the queer mental human just as the queer human seems queer to the queer vital monkey and the queer monkey to the queer material jelly-fish. All queer together! and to each other!
